Goat Cheese in Crackling Caramel Syrup

Ingredients

6-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese

Sugar

1/4 cup water

6 small grape clusters

Apple, cored and cut in six 1/3-inch wedges

Preparation

Place one 1/2-inch-thick round of goat cheese (cut from log) on each of 6 plates. Spray cooling rack with nonstick spray and place over rimmed baking sheet. Stir sugar and water in heavy small saucepan over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil without stirring until mixture turns light amber, occasionally brushing down pan sides with wet pastry brush and swirling pan, about 6 minutes. Remove from heat and quickly add grape clusters 1 at a time to caramel. Using slotted spoon or long fork, transfer grapes to prepared pan. Repeat with apple. Dip spoon into caramel and drizzle over goat cheese rounds on plates. Add apple wedge and grape cluster to each plate.

I made this tonight for my restaurant club and it was a major hit.
I used 2:1 as suggested, but used 1/3 cup of water and 2/3 cup of brown sugar - it was amazing.
I brought the syrup to a boil for a minute to thicken it some, but then I turned it down to a simmer. With the syrup still bubbling over low heat, I put the apples in and coated them like the recipe says, but I left them in the pan and let them cook and soften a little (maybe for two or three minutes) before putting them on the plate.
I'm not usually a huge dessert lover, but I will definitely make this one again.
